The Voidwalkers' escape from the earthquake was witnessed by Archangel Parr. His lips curled into a sneer as if he was mocking them. "Humans are always so ridiculous. Little do they know that the sky is the most dangerous place. Storm and lightning, tear these fools apart!" Parr sneered.
As soon as the Archangel's voice trailed off, golden sparks appeared in the dark clouds above Arfin City. The calm air around the city began to churn violently, stirring up clouds of dust and dirt.
"Is it really that cruel? Quick, quick, quick! Raise the barrier! "The Magician quickly ordered.
Just as the golden barrier covered the last remaining part of Arfin City, a bolt of lightning struck the barrier like a waterfall, lighting up the entire area in a dazzling white. Just one strike was enough to crack the barrier, which was strong enough to protect against forbidden spells.
"Three more strikes, and we'll be able to shatter the barrier! Everyone, reinforce the barrier! "The Archmage commanded.
The rest of the Voidwalkers, students, and teachers began to realize the danger they were in. Everyone rushed to the nodes of the barrier and tried to repair it.
"Where's the lightning rod? Where's our lightning rod? "The Astrologer Warlock asked, panicking as he ran.
"We're in the sky!" The Engineer Walker replied in a huff. He quickly ran to one of the nodes of the barrier and took out a bunch of engineering toys from his storage pouch. There was a clockwork magic puppet, a magic camera, a solar-powered flashlight, and a kitten's piggy bank that meowed when coins were inserted into the barrier. None of the toys were useful to him.
Other than the lightning strike, a powerful tornado that seemed capable of tearing the heavens and the earth was heading straight for the final fortress in the sky. There was no doubt that the tornado was powerful enough to tear the entire city to shreds.
The Charlatan Walker, who had just returned to the city the night before, panicked at the sight of the tornado. "First Walker, use your invincible Fifth Walker to think of a solution!"
"Tell Dale to wake up the Third Walker and bring the bear and the tree out of there! If you don't do something now, I'll turn it into a real doll! "The Archmage said anxiously.
Just as he spoke, another bolt of lightning struck the barrier, and the cracks that had not been completely repaired before were further widened. If it continued at this rate, there would be no need to wait for the tornado to arrive.
Tisdale ran all the way back to the academy.
A few moments later, the third and fourth lightning bolts struck down one after another. The entire barrier was already filled with cracks. The Archmage did not even need to do anything, as the barrier was already on the brink of collapse. The tornado was also very close to them, making it impossible for them to stand. Several soldiers were swept away by the tornado. The Archmage had no choice but to order the students to abandon the barrier and find shelter in the nearest houses.
If there was another bolt of lightning, nothing would be able to withstand the wrath of nature …
At such a critical moment, a giant dragon clad in metal armor suddenly soared into the sky. Was it that brat Mordred? She was bravely charging towards the lightning that was brewing in the dark clouds. On her back was a young dragon made entirely of metal. In her mouth was a round-headed bear, and in her claws was a tree that had been uprooted.
"Throw these two pieces of trash into the storm. We'll deal with the lightning!" the young dragon said.
"Your Excellency, I've contributed to the Void. I've bled for Da Xue! You can't do this to me! " Mr. Bear, who was in Mordred's mouth, protested vehemently. It had the ability to resist, but Mordred's mischievous nature reminded it of the fear it had felt when it was dominated by the elves. It was unable to put up any effective resistance before it was picked up by Mordred and brought to this hell in front of them.
The Druid Tree was in a similar situation. He did not even have the strength to refute. All he could do was whimper, "I'm as weak as a sapling …"
The mischievous child did not care. She followed the Third Walker's order and threw the two druid priests towards the tornado. She then hovered in the air under the guidance of the Holy Dragon. She raised her noble head and faced the lightning that was about to strike down.
"Remember, my child. This is the true power of the Silver Dragons!" The Third Walker on her back roared. "Thunder! Heed my command! "
The two dragons unleashed their innate powers at the same time. They controlled the lightning bolt to fly past Arfin City and strike the earth below.
The tornado seemed to have swallowed Mr. Bear and the Druid Tree's offerings, and it began to move away from Arfin City.
The situation seemed to be under control.
However, Archangel Baal did not stop there. He did not plan to give the Voidwalkers a chance to catch their breath. Instead, he used his power one last time, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Voidwalkers.
The Archmage, who had just recovered from the earthquake and the storm, suddenly felt that something was wrong. "Oh no! I can feel my body getting heavier!"
It was not an illusion. He was not the only one who was getting heavier. Arfin City, which was floating in the air, was getting heavier as well. Soon, the levitation system's limit was exceeded, and the city began to plummet.
The angels had altered the gravity of the area so that Arfin City would be engulfed by the earthquake.
Even though the levitation system had been activated to its limit, it still could not resist the gradually increasing gravity. The key was that many students and teachers could no longer support their own weight and fell to the ground one after another. They could not even escape and could only watch helplessly as they slowly walked towards death …
"I hope this despair will teach them to repent," Baal said in a low voice. He did not want Arfin City to fall in one fell swoop. Instead, he wanted to increase the gravity bit by bit. He wanted to use this method to give his enemies a taste of despair.
"We can't hold on any longer. We need to find a way to save the students. We need to retreat to Da Xue!" The Archmage Walker made a quick decision, but he could not move his body. He could only rely on the Barbarian Walker, the Warrior, and the other powerful Walkers to save as many students as possible.
At this critical moment, Baiyi's hollow and cold voice rang in the Archmage's ears again. "Awaken the Fourth Walker."
The Archmage was taken aback. He quickly contacted Tisdale and relayed Baiyi's order. Soon, the Fourth Walker, whom he had never spoken to before, stepped out of the teleportation portal. The Fourth Walker slowly walked down the street, which was crumbling under the pressure of gravity.
The Fourth Walker was wearing a set of ordinary, decorative armor that could be found in any blacksmith's shop. It was nothing compared to the well-tempered bodies of the other Voidwalkers. However, the Fourth Walker did not seem to be affected by the gravity, nor did he seem to be affected by the scene before him. He walked quietly until he was in front of the bunker that was used to heal Noirciel.
The other Voidwalkers who saw the scene were baffled. They had almost forgotten about the guy who never spoke and only played games as a zombie. Of course, they did not know what kind of past he had and what kind of abilities he had. They could not understand why Baiyi would wake up the guy whom he had called a charlatan at such a critical moment.
The Fourth Walker remained silent. He extended a hand toward the bunker, and the miniature dimension that the War God had set up to store Noirciel's power began to spin. Divine energy began to pour out of it, but it did not affect the surroundings. Instead, it flowed into the Fourth Walker's body like a gentle stream.
Then, he raised his head and looked at the two dragons that were fighting with Lightning and the two druids that were struggling in the storm. Then, he glanced at the Voidwalker that was lying motionless on the ground and raised his head again. Using a voice that was neither male nor female, he spoke in a clear and loud voice.
"My name is Nehemiah, the one who controls the future …"
His voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears, including Noirciel, who was still in a coma. Her fingers trembled when she heard the name Nehemiah.
No one had ever heard the Fourth Walker's voice before, not even Baiyi. However, when the Fourth Walker's voice rang in the air, the surroundings fell silent.
The thunder in the sky, the rumbling of the ground, the howling of the wind, and the cries for help from the students — all of these disappeared. Even the hymns of the angels had stopped. The entire world was silent and respectful, listening to the Fourth Walker's voice with reverence.
"I declare in my name!"
The Fourth Walker's second sentence seemed to have stopped time. The sky was no longer raining lightning, the earth was no longer trembling, the wind was no longer howling, and the people were no longer breathing.
"Where I am, I will never fall!"
The Fourth Walker's last words were spoken, and time began to flow again. The thunder and the wind did not seem to be affected, and the noise continued as if nothing had happened.
Only existences like the First Walker or the Archangel could clearly feel what was happening. Some subtle changes had happened to the world without a sound.
Arfin City, which was still falling, stopped in mid-air, as if it had been frozen in time. Even though the lightning and the wind were not under anyone's control, they all avoided the small fortress that was still standing on the street, no longer attempting to bring it down.
